The Australian metal 3D printer manufacturer Aurora Labs has recently revealed successful test results of its metal additive manufacturing<\/a> process Rapid Manufacturing Technology (RMT). This came after the company closed a $5 million round of investment (before costs) from institutional and sophisticated investors to deliver on its Rapid Manufacturing Technology and accelerate the growth of the business over the year ahead. It seems they are already delivering.<\/p>\n

Its metal Rapid Manufacturing Technology has achieved a print speed of 113 kg per day. RMT is integrated into the company\u2019s large-format\u00a0Alpha\u00a03D printer (also known as the RMP). With this speed it could deliver parts at 55 times the market speed,\u00a0which has been identified as 1.96 kg of Titanium per day.<\/p>\n

Accelerating Metal Additive Manufacturing<\/h3>\n

David Budge, Managing Director of Aurora Labs explained, \u201cThis step in the development of the technology is the latest in a long line of impressive developments since the company\u2019s inception in 2014. Printing on multiple levels simultaneously at high speeds is what we believe will ultimately allow us to print up to 1000 kg in one day.\u201d <\/em>This speed represents the potential to transform the spare parts industry worldwide.<\/p>

Similar to Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Aurora Labs\u2019 Multi Concurrent Printing (MCP) within RMT melts and fuses layers of powder to form 3D models. It is designed to significantly accelerate conventional metal additive manufacturing. How does it do so? In Aurora\u2019s MCP process, multiple layers of powder are laid down at the same time (instead of layer by layer). As the powder is laid down, there is an area behind each individual powder gate where printing can take place.<\/p>\n

David Budge, Managing Director of Aurora Labs further stated, “A large portion of the groups that Aurora is currently in discussion with are interested in replaceable parts and the capability of replacing them directly using additive manufacturing or redesigning them using the advantages of 3D printing with superior materials to deliver a superior product at a cost competitive price,\u201d Budge says in this latest announcement.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe primary factor in delivering an end product cost competitive with traditional manufacturing is the speed of the machine. This is why Aurora is looking outside traditional 3d printing markets to sectors like mining, oil & gas, marine and automotive. The year ahead is looking extremely exciting.”<\/em><\/p>\n
